[Maxime Tulling @MaximeTulling]

I graduated this May from @nyuling and my dissertation “Neural and Developmental Bases of Processing Language Outside the Here-and-Now” is now available on ProQuest: https://t.co/fpMpxoO5xI.

Very excited to be continuing this line of research at @UMontreal & @theCRLBM! (1/13)

Our paper entitled "Neural specialization for 'visual' concepts emerges in the absence of vision" is now out at Cognition. https://t.co/BtExTEoNMS

[Miriam Hauptman @miriam_hauptman]

What makes humans uniquely cognitively adaptable? In our new paper, @TakuaLiu624, @mbedny1, and I review neuroscience studies of sensory loss, language acquisition, and cultural skills (e.g., programming), and propose a 'flexible specialization' account: 1/

I will be presenting this work tomorrow (Thursday) at #INTERSPEECH2024, 10.00-10.40 in the Acesso room!

Looking forward to discuss how we can learn from human speech science to interpret end-to-end neural speech models 💡

The paper is here: https://t.co/JjsfCL0Dr3

✨ Do current neural speech models show human-like linguistic biases in speech perception?

We took inspiration from classic phonetic categorization experiments to explore whether & where sensitivity to phonotactic context emerges in Wav2Vec2 models 🔍

NYT INVESTIGATION: Israel ordered civilians to go to safe zones then dropped 2,000 pound “bunker-busters” that “turns earth to liquid [and] pancakes entire buildings” the bomb means “instant death” for anyone within 30 meters. Lethal fragmentation can extend for up to 365 meters:

I’ve created an EyeLink-compatible example experiment and walkthrough, shared via my website: https://t.co/A9GlzTr8J8

(Eye-tracking version to come)

Hoping this pays-it-forward by saving someone else time 🤞🏻

"This is a text-book case of genocide." Read every word of this letter by a UN human rights official.

De aanval van Hamas op Israël is inmiddels drie weken geleden. Maar de geschiedenis van dit conflict gaat nog veel verder terug. En hoewel die geschiedenis zeer complex is, willen we toch een poging doen er dieper in te duiken. #avondshow https://t.co/bzecKHFfif

[Maxime Tulling @MaximeTulling]

We have a Dutch saying “dweilen met de kraan open”: moping the floor while water is running. If you offer Palestinians a mop to wipe up blood the Israeli government intentionally spills in tons, you are being utterly useless. Turn off the bloody faucet! Stop supporting genocide!

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Hamas terror is now bringing immense suffering to the Palestinian people.

There is no contradiction in standing in solidarity with Israel and acting for the humanitarian needs of the Palestinians ↓

@hungshaocheng @nyuniversity @nyusteinhardt I ran into the same issue last year and used freetaxusa and somehow it worked out/ I worked around it…. But I can’t remember the exact thing. @SuhailMatar_ did the same, any better recollection??

[Maxime Tulling @MaximeTulling]

Our paper contains much more information about children's and adults' counterfactual productions as well as many adorable examples! All data and R-scripts are publicly shared. Very glad to have published with @LangDevRes, supporting the mission to make science accessible for all.

[Maxime Tulling @MaximeTulling]

Now out in @LangDevRes (all the open science and no fees one can wish for!): my corpus paper with @ACournane delving into children's early counterfactual productions to show the role linguistic complexity plays in the acquisition of counterfactuality https://t.co/ihxOeJvzIb (1/4)

[Maxime Tulling @MaximeTulling]

Examination of the longitudinal development of 6 individual children revealed that children mostly start producing counterfactual wishes before counterfactual conditionals, suggesting wishes might be easier to acquire (3/4)

Come work with us! @UMontreal is hiring a theoretical syntactician at the Assistant Professor level. Special interest in fieldworkers and/or specialists in Indigenous languages. Excellent French (C1 or equivalent) required. https://t.co/YFCeLvutJS

@JBttnrK I’m honored!!

[Maxime Tulling @MaximeTulling]

Most importantly, for those who missed my tearful gratitude during my defense, I included heartfelt acknowledgments for everyone who supported me during my PhD. Special thanks to my advisors @liinapy and @ACournane for bearing with me, and a dozen different experiment versions.

To end it, the discussion of this dissertation synthesizes and contextualizes the main findings and poses many more questions than it answers. I therefore hope that this dissertation will inspire further investigation into the fascinating ability of modal displacement. (12/13)
